Hot chocolate jelly pop

Me and Matt tried an experiment, just to see if we could make a lolly pop out of hot chocolate and jelly, we never though about the getting ready photos but these were early the next morning.


Once we had used warm water to release the delicacy on a spoon then you can see the frozen jelly at the bottom and the frozen hot chocolate at the top.


The spoon held it firmly, it might even look erm, inspiring, the thing is, we never thought about photos of it being tried out, and yes it was vile, disgustingly terrible, never to try tasting again, the frozen jelly was abit too hard and the hot frozen chocolate was a little like vomit, someone elses…

How to open a tin of corn beef meat when the key is missing!

Do you ever get home from shopping, and sometimes you forget to check all the food in-store before placing it in your basket or trolley? You guessed it, I came to making a delightful corn beef hash (instructions eventually!) but at this important time to open the tin, arrggghhhh,


The key was missing, but not to panic, this is how I overcame a potential hair raising problem.


Now, very calmly get your tools out, the mechanical hand tools obviously that’s what I meant silly! using long nosed pliers carefully grab that bit of metal where the key should have been, and then gently wind it around the tin.


Once you have got back to the start then give the pliers a good pulling to get them out of the tangled spring loaded metal strip, oh, you see the metal was wrapped really tight, so actually try removing them carefully or you will cut your fingers.


Upon successfully getting the long nosed pliers out give yourselves a nice pat on the back, and then return to cooking the hash, I can smell it from here, hmmm…

Jacket potato with fish and spinach

I felt a little on the hungry side, mind you, I usually only have one main hot meal per day, cereal or toast for breakfast, and then its snacking on fruit through the day, occasionally having cheese on cracker, but look at this plate full.


Remembering to put hugging’s of butter, well, Flora on and plenty of the tomato sauce squeezed in there.


And only a little bit of the skin left, a very nice and healthy meal, certainly felt stuffed afterward!

Total cost was about;

£0.75 Potato,
£0.88 Fish fillets (frozen).
£0.20 Leaf spinach (frozen)

£1.83

And some butter, tomato sauce, salt and pepper and electric for the oven!

Should sausages be pricked for cooking?

Its a question that seems somewhat poked alot, many say to let the fat cook the meat inside the sausage skin, yet many say poke the sausage allowing it to be cooked in the fat? Regardless of what the photo shows I do not prick my sausages, especially as these days they are getting much less fattier, so we are sold!?
